So much had happened.

But there wasn’t much time to organize things.

If you have a lot of work to do, it makes sense to set priorities.

So I started with what I could finish quickly.

Kim Eun-ha, who was found to be my biological daughter through a paternity test, was registered on the family relationship certificate.

That’s how my daughter’s last name changed.

Not Kim Eun-ha, but Cha Eun-ha.

The person I saved was my daughter.

I still feel strange.

‘If I hadn’t saved you back then…’

As soon as I thought about it, I got goosebumps.

If so, it would be like watching my daughter die before my eyes.

The fate of the world was truly strange.

If I hadn’t walked across the Han River.

If only I had missed falling.

If I had handed my daughter over to the police.

I may have committed a great sin without even knowing the existence of my biological daughter.

Eunha was not as friendly as Minah.

But inside, her heart was just as warm as Minah’s.

[Can I call you Daddy…?]

In the early morning, Eunha sat next to me, holding my head in front of the intensive care unit where Minah was.

[I think your mind is complicated.]

I didn’t answer.

This is because it was very difficult to think about how to think and answer.

Eunha…my daughter held my hand.

Her hands were soft and warm.

It warmed my hands, which had lost all energy and warmth.

[I’m sorry…if I had stopped Minah…I’m sorry…]

Tears fell from Eunha’s eyes.

It started to wet the back of my hand one by one.

Eunha was bowing her head to me.

[I’m sorry…I’m sorry…]

I know.

That this child didn’t do it because he wanted to.

I just did what Minah asked me to do.

And Minah herself just turned the steering wheel.

Everything was created by Minah.

If it were like before, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Minah was a good daughter to me.

But I was a fool to only believe that innocent face.

The strange behaviors I have noticed from Mina so far.

That indescribable feeling of discomfort.

But I couldn’t explain it because I firmly believed that my daughter would never have done that.

But I saw Mina’s true face.

I could clearly see it when it hit me.

Until now, her innocent face had been a mask.

Everything was explained.

In particular, it also explained why Arin suddenly disappeared when he went on a trip with her.

I didn’t ask because Arin is still receiving treatment, but the circumstances make it clear.

Minah kicked Arin out.

Now I know.

Minah’s expression when Arin disappeared.

It was a perplexed expression.

But I vaguely saw the corners of Mina’s mouth slightly raised.

You must have seen it wrong.

That’s what I thought.

How good was the relationship between my daughter and Arin…

But no.

Mina would have thought of Arin as a distraction.

That’s probably why I kicked Arin out while I was distracted.

I don’t know how they kicked her out… and how Minah made Arin act like that.

However, Minah clearly showed me an action that was beyond the pale.

And Eunha’s testimony that she tried to cause an accident to prevent me from going to Arin.

Judging from those things, Minah probably did something she shouldn’t have done to Arin.

This is my guess.

If Arin gets treatment and we check later, we will definitely get an answer…but Arin won’t tell us.

Because Arin is a good girl.

Because she was a woman who liked me and just looked at me for over 10 years.

[Eunha…it’s not your fault.]

For a moment, Eunha’s body jumps up as if she is startled.

It may have been a problem with the name given to the galaxy.

I am Eunha’s father.

My ex-wife who deserves heavenly punishment.

Because of that woman’s trick, I ended up leaving my daughter in the hands of a pervert.

Since I saved the galaxy from the guy who served as its father… it seems like God definitely exists.

But even if she was my daughter…even if I saved this person…

You can’t ignore time.

Eunha and I rarely spend time in the same space.

It’s such a distant relationship.

The time I lived.

Contact point too.

It is safe to say that there really is very little.

That’s why it was difficult to deal with each other.

But Eunha and I are a family that will have to live together from now on.

I couldn’t maintain an awkward relationship forever.

I told Eunha to call me dad.

I tried to make her…my daughter comfortable.

But I still felt awkward calling Eunha my daughter.

So I made a mistake.

I gave my daughter… as if I were someone else.

Eunha must have been disappointed that I called her [Eunha].

[I’m sorry…I’m sorry, my daughter…]

I held his hand tightly.

Eunha’s body began to tremble slightly.

[Dad… I made a mistake… Eunha… I haven’t spent much time with you… So… I’m sorry.]

[Um…Hey…Dad…]

I hugged Eunha.

Eunha’s body, which was shaking violently, was startled.

[Even if Dad makes a mistake… can you understand a little bit? It’s still awkward, but… you’re… my daughter… you’re family…]

family.

At those words, the area around my eyes starts to get moist.

My chest, where her face touched it, also began to feel slightly moist.

[Because we are family… I will take care of you more. The time I missed, the time I wasted… I will dedicate it all to you…]

[Hehe…Heaaaa…]

I didn’t want to cry, but it seemed like I had no choice but to do so.

Eunha held her breath and began to cry.

Hold your breath as if you are running out of breath.

Because it’s a hospital.

Because it’s dawn when everyone is asleep.

Eunha was a polite woman.

Her heart looked so beautiful.

Galaxy.

This is my daughter.

My precious daughter.

My proud daughter.

It hasn’t come out of my mouth yet, but I will soon.

I will speak with sincerity.

That’s probably what she really wants to hear.

Therefore, lies must not be included.

It shouldn’t be a rumor.

I will do my best to accept Eunha as my daughter.

****

I visited Arin at the hospital in Busan.

Originally, the plan was to stay in Busan until Arin recovered.

However, due to the incident with Mina, I came up without being able to confirm that Arin had come to her senses.

According to what I heard from the doctor in charge of Arin, she was in a coma for four full days.

But fortunately, was it because the teacher’s skills were good?

He woke up on the fifth day, and a week later, he is said to have recovered to the point where he can walk little by little.

“Seo…Senior…!”

When I entered the hospital room, Arin’s face was red and the blanket was all over her head.

“What are you doing?”

“Um…over there…that…”

Arin could not continue speaking properly.

“Why did you say he died?”

“……”

Arin, covered in blankets, became speechless.

“It was you who tricked me.”

“……”

“My heart… What should I do if I leave you without saying a word after putting so much color on my heart?”

“……”

“Is it because of Minah?”

I flinch.

The blanket shakes loudly.

“Right…? What do I mean?”

“…No…something like that…”

It was as expected.

Arin denied the atrocities Minah had committed against her.

The heart that thinks of others.

A soft and sweet heart that values and cares for others more than itself.

charity.

That was Arin’s greatest strength.

I was immediately enamored with its charm.

“…How did you find me?”

Arin changes the subject, as if she doesn’t want to talk about Minah in any way.

It’s not that I don’t know Arin’s feelings.

As if I was being naughty, I wanted to hold on to Mina’s actions and confirm them until the end.

But Arin’s compassionate heart did not allow it.

Still, she’s my daughter.

Because I can’t make a father hate his daughter.

That’s probably what it means.

That’s why I decided to follow Arin’s wishes.

“Your father told me.”

“…!”

The blanket shakes loudly once again.

“Why…”

“They said you didn’t send the money you promised.”

“Ah……”

Because he was kidnapped, he was unable to pay his monthly payment on the scheduled date.

Arin’s father was not a proper person.

They cursed at me and called me an immoral person for not sending my daughter money.

[what? What on earth is your relationship with your daughter? huh?? You know that my daughter is mine, right? If you want to do well, give me money…]

He started talking nonsense so I hung up the phone.

“They said they ended the relationship. Did you want to run away from me by giving money to that bastard?”

“……”

“Did you hate me that much? To the extent of lying and saying he was dead??”

“……”

The blanket is shaking.

There will be a lot you want to say.

But the moment I say those words, I am worried that my daughter… Minah will get hurt.

I pulled up the blanket.

“Oh…!!”

Her face was full of tears.

“You idiot…!!”

I hugged Arin.

Her body was hot and moist.

“How could you…make such a foolish choice when you missed me so much…”

“Sun…Senior…I….Ah…Senior…”

Arin stuttered, as if she didn’t know what to say.

“Arin……”

“…Yes…..?”

“Thank you for coming back.”

I’m crying.

Her body vibrates.

My body is crying too.

“I…I’ve been dead since you said I was dead.”

“…Ah……”

“I prayed and prayed. I would do anything if you could come back alive… But you came back alive like this.”

“Uh…uhh……”

Arin’s body was shaking more and more.

Her body was becoming more and more moist.

“So now you won’t miss it.”

Come on.

I hug her as she trembles.

“I will protect you for the rest of my life. I will make sure something like this never happens again.”

Her two weak arms.

The arm hasn’t caught me yet.

“Because I love you. Because you really thought about me.”

I took both of her arms and placed them on my shoulders.

“So, hug me. Because this is what I wanted so desperately.”

“Seo…Senior…Senior…to……”

Her tears wet me.

It was so hot that it soaked my body like a waterfall.

“I love you Arin……”

Her arms gradually began to hug my neck.

Slowly…and soon he started squeezing my neck.

“Senior…Senior…! I missed you!! really really…!! I missed you…!!”

Only now did Arin’s emotions begin to burst out like crazy.

“I love you…! I truly love you!! I miss you!! really…!! Really!! Hmm!!!”

The reason Arin left.

The reason I had to pretend to be dead.

There was no need for it all.

Does Arin still love me?

All I had to do was hear the answer to that.

And I got an answer from her.

“Arin.”

“Yes…yes……”

“I love you……”

“Me too…me too…!! i love you!! senior!! I love you so much!!”

The answer was clear.

Now I only had one thing to say.

“…Let’s get married.”
